    Media = Medium = Hypnotizing Minds

    When a story is getting out like this one is it's usually preparing the readers/fanbase for a future paradigm related event.

    I like Jimmy Lake as a person but not as the head coach of the UW football team. I supported his hire early on until he hired John Donovan as his OC then questioned his judgment. African American head coaches in college football are few and far between especially at power 5 programs. If Lake had been provided an opportunity that many dream of he should hire, surround himself with the best people to ensure the best possible environment for his head coaching tenure. He failed at that big time with the hiring of a secretarial assistant to the assistant RB coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars at UW TE coach Derham Cato's recommendation.

    Jimmy Lake, if fired-resigns-bought out, has no one to blame but himself in this situation. He gave a lot ammunition to everyone that wanted him fired for whatever reason(s).

    Sums up my thoughts exactly. I thought he would have a few years of success before it came undone. When he hired JonDon I knew he sucked.

    Thats a good way to get dragged through the street
  • "If you’re asking whether Washington athletic director Jen Cohen is qualified for the position (of Pac-12 commissioner), the answer is: Yes, absolutely."

    -- Jon Wilner, 2/5/21

    https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/02/05/hotline-mailbag-jen-cohen-for-commissioner-future-of-the-pac-12-networks-a-football-schedule-alliance-and-utahs-recent-opt-out/

    When the incumbent was Larry Scott, anyone would be considered qualified.

    Even so, holy shit what a terrible take, even by Wilner standards.

    Wilcox to UW isn't happening and Wilner knows it,

    He's simultaneously rubbing Wilcox's balls, tweaking the Cal administration and flinging turds at the part of the UW fan base that regularly bashes his hot takes

    Cal is in its current Covid predicament for two reasons:

    1) Excessive lockdown-type restrictions by State of California/City of Berkeley

    2) Despite the protocols in place, 44 players tested positive and that's why the USC game has been pushed back 3 weeks.

    The University of Subaru is not hiring a coach with that black mark on his record.

    Just won't do it.

    Wilner gets a little bit of a pass from me for being the lead person in the media to really go after Larry Scott (him and Canzano) but holy fuck the dude's ideas are fucking stupid.

    If the AD’s and coaches liked Larry Scott the pac12 hotline would not have been critical at all of the commissioner. He has zero ideas of his own.

    CanzAno did all the work on that and most coaches and AD’s hate him.

    I think it's pretty clear Wilcox is Jen's first choice.

    Which is why, I'll say it again, Jen can't be allowed to make this hire.

    That’s not obvious at all. We aren’t hiring a 3-6 coach from Cal. Especially amid all this press about their covid situation. Wake up.

    When you take the position that UW will almost always do the opposite of what logical sports fans, writers, etc. think should happen, you hold the opinion that Cohen is seriously considering hiring Wilcox.

    Wilner:

    (a) likes Wilcox personally and is trying to help him,

    (b) hates Berkeley's University Health Services and is slighting them, and

    (c) is trolling UW fans who justifiably call him out for his spectacularly terrible takes in '21.

    That's what this is.

    Exactly. It has nothing to do with us.

    I remember thinking that UW would NEVER hire the coach they beat like a drum when he was at Stanford and who had just been fired by Notre Dame

    @AtomicDawg knows

    Never bet against the wrong move

    He checks all the boxes for this current AD:

    Oregon grad

    Has ties to Cal

    Players go to class

    Beat Oregon and USC. And lost to Oregon the RIGHT way this year.

    Doesn't say stupid shit to the media

    IF we? were to dabble in a reclamation project Shaw would be the one to risk it on

    Something has gone wrong on the Farm and he is either burned out or Stanford decided to drop serious football

    Shaw has shown he can do it. If UW is so serious that he would get more support here for big time winning he probably could.

    I wouldn't do it but he fits the mold of the guy you would. If that makes sense

    I'm confused- what has Shaw shown?

    Literally every idiot in their mom's basement predicted he wouldn't be able to maintain what Harbaugh built and that Stanford would slide back into mediocrity. And lo and behold, that is exactly what happened?

    I believe it's because the early signing period has made it much, much harder for him to get really good players. Or at least he whined about it at the time and hasn't had a .500 season since.

    I was one of those idiots but a look at the record shows he performed past the "Harbaugh players" line. He had an 8 year run better than the run Petersen is so wistfully remembered for. And he won 2 Rose Bowls

    I stand by my statement. Wouldn't do it but this is the guy you would

    Looks like a six-year run to me. Probably would have been four but for Christian McCaffrey.

    Also remember when he signed a class of TWELVE in 2013? That was brilliant.

    Hire Dan Lanning from UGA and give him a big staff budget if you want to go cheaper. Fuck off with this Wilcox bullshit.

    I gave him all the way to the 9-4 in honor of Pete's 8-5. I'm classy like that

    Saying a team would have been bad if they didn't have their good players is not academically prowess
